was the greatest motive force he had 10
the north. Whatever may bave been his
errors, he was great man, great

One hundred and thirty-five new laws
were created by the late legislature,
though b1t few OF them are of general
importance exeepting.the appropriation
measures, the local option law and the
law providing for vote OF the people
on the question OF the division of the
territory. The local option law submits
to the vote OF the people in each coun-
ty the question of prohibition within
the county and upon an affirmative ms
iority saloons are to be abolished in such
county. The division measure provides
that the people may express at the polls
their preference for division or admission
as whole. 1t is understood that both
propositions are to be voted upon nexl

Ta tne Voters of Xankton.
The undersigned, acting under in

submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement of the reasons which
induced the nomination of the ticket
now before the publio5
There has been for some time very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel

by the evident Tad results, in some
recent cases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. Il is be-
Iieved that intelligent men of all parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
acter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection of officers to admin
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct of
city affairs, of integrity, prudence,
sagaclty and enterprise, qualities which
ara not insured in the individual
aspirant for office, by the fact
that he has large political following.
These considerations are especially for

Ex-Governor Pierce, in his st. Paul
Pioneer Press Bismarck correspondence,
divulges the figures which represent the
amount voted the governor of the terri
tory by the late legislature in addition
to the salary paid the executive by the
general government. AS the Pioneer
Press correspondent writes from the re-
cords of the office until recently held by
him there can be no question regarding
the accuracy of his figures. He says the
law giving to the governor three dollars
for each notarial comm ssion will turn
into his pocket $4,000 per year. Another
law created by the late legislature allows
him 81 900 for clerk hire and $500 for
contingent fund. The compensation
per annum, for himself and his office,
will therefore stand:
From the general government. salary
and allowances. ,,,,.----,. a. 500
FROM notarlRl commissions -. ........ 3,09C
Territorial allowance for clerk hire. l,0oO
Territorial contingent fund ............ 500
Total emolameats. eats..................... $500
Though the legislature made these
provisions in direct violation of section
1855 OF the organic act. it is not to be
presumed that the governor OF reform
ADMINISTRATION will also violate an edict
Of congress by accepting of the liberal
bounty OF the legislative body. So it is
probable that $500 per year OF this
amount will be saved to the people.
